The coolest women's motorcycle clubs in the world

Motorcycle clubs have been around for decades, but have mostly been part of a male-dominated trend. In 1940, a group of women bikers came together to form Motor Maids, one of the first and oldest motorcycle clubs for women. Since then, women's biker organizations have sprung up around the world.

These groups don't just bring together women who love to skate. They also empower women and encourage diversity, although some clubs take pride in sticking to one brand, such as Caramel Curves and their respective Suzukis. Read on to see some of the most famous women's biker clubs around the world.

VC London teaches and rides

The biker location of VC London is indicated in the title. The British group was founded by three friends who wanted to give women the opportunity to get together and learn. The biker club gathers not only for riding, but also for workshops and camps that allow enthusiasts to do what they love.

Participants are not just passionate about motorcycles, but also have the opportunity to learn how to ride a skateboard, dirt bike, and anything else one might want to ride.

"There's more to life than just a selfie"

VC London brings together like-minded people, and this does not include those who do it just for show. Their "about us" page encourages enthusiasts to "do it all" and do it "with messy hair, because there's more to life than selfies."

This sentiment is reflected in their slogan, "Go out there and get dirty doing what you love." The idea is for women to give up the desire to look perfect and instead focus on what feels right.

Motor maids appeared in 1940.

In the late 1930s, Rhode Islander Linda Dujot turned to motorcycle dealers and motorcyclists in the hope of finding women bikers. Her roster grew into the Motor Maids, an all-female motorcycle group officially formed in 1941.

In the years that followed, Motor Maids developed an organizational system that included executive directors and a state director acting as an intermediary. This structure proved necessary as the biker club expanded across the United States, bringing in female bikers who previously had no group to call their own.

Now they have over a thousand members

In 1944, the Motor Maids chose their colors at the convention, royal blue and silver gray, and a shield emblem. In 2006, the members decided their look needed an update and replaced the traditional style with something more suited to biker culture.

Today, over 1,300 members of Motor Maid wear black pants and long sleeve black boots in royal blue and a white vest. One thing they couldn't part with was the white gloves, which earned the band the nickname "Ladies of the White Gloves" back in the 40s.

Hell's Belles formed on Halloween

According to information hot carsThe Hell Beauties weren't an official biker gang until someone spotted them on Halloween and asked who they were. One of the members blurted out "Hell's Beauties" and thus the all-female biker group was born.

Although the club is now fairly official, with a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and sergeant-at-arms, there is no hierarchy. Any participant can take one of the positions if he shows that he is loyal to the club.

They love to party

The Hellish Beauties have managed to hold their own against other, larger groups over the years. They have since become a force in their own right, spreading from the United Kingdom to the United States.

You can recognize the members of the party by the witch emblem on their back, which is very fitting considering the club started on Halloween. They also love to party and call their gathering place the Cauldron. Some of their typical activities include eating curry, sharing knowledge, attending rallies and, of course, horseback riding.

Devil puppets are known as the "Wild West".

The Devil Dolls were founded in San Francisco in 1999. They have since expanded to include members ranging from Southern California to Washington DC, earning them the nickname "Wild West".

The biker club also has a branch in Sweden, making it an international group. The Devil Dolls website says they are proud to have an inclusive group of moms, professionals, activists, and everyone in between. Bikers are also sure to participate in charity events and do their best to raise funds.

They take their sisterly relationship very seriously.

On their website, the Devil Dolls clearly state that they are "not a riding or social club". Instead, they are a serious sisterhood that has membership dues, dues, and fines. Their "about us" page also states that they "live by the code", although no details are mentioned.

One rule they clarify is the types of bikes they accept. Once a "Harley only" club, they now accept "Triumph, BSA, BMW, Norton and other American or European motorcycles".

Chrome Angelz - No Drama Club

Chrome Angelz was founded by New Jersey citizen Annamarie Sesta in 2011. According to their website, the group formed out of a desire to have a no-drama biker sisterhood.

The idea quickly attracted other women bikers, and by the following year they also had a chapter in Michigan. By 2015, the club was holding conventions in various US states. Anna-Maria aims to travel on a motorcycle as often as possible, which allows her to meet female bikers across the country and expand Chrome Angelz.

Their emblem has a special meaning

While many biker gangs have badges that look cool or say something vague about the club, the Chrome Angelz have put a lot of thought into their badge. The crown is meant to "signify fidelity, sisterhood and respect".

Participants consider the sword to be a symbol of honesty, while angel wings symbolize "protection and good will". The emblem is in line with the club's mission, vision and values, which include creating an enabling environment for female riders and giving back to the community.

The Sirens is the oldest women's biker club in New York.

They made headlines for milk delivery

The Sirens got a lot of attention in 2017 when they started delivering milk to babies in need. As with many of the clubs on this list, their commitment goes beyond cycling.

They teamed up with the non-profit organization New York Milk Bank to deliver milk to children faster than a regular car, especially in a busy city. As a result, they were nicknamed "The Milk Riders" and every member of the group has been involved in the organization ever since.

Caramel curves are known for their style

All their pride comes down to empowering women and showing women that they don't have to be afraid to be who they are.

Curvy Riders is the UK's largest women's biker club.

Their public relations officer is Gummi Bear, and their sergeant-at-arms is named Savage. However, one way you won't be able to tell them apart is by looking at their bikes. The ladies ride everything from Harley Davidson Sportsters to Beta 200s.

Hop On Gurls is located in Bangalore, India.

Hop On Gurls is a women's biker club founded in Bangalore, India in 2011. The girls ride Bullet motorcycles and teach beginner riders how to pursue their passion. While many biker clubs expect their members to be able to ride, the main purpose of Hop On Gurls is to teach.

Sisters Eternal take their commitment seriously

This is not a club for beginners.

While some of the women's biker clubs on this list aim to help women learn how to ride, Sisters Eternal is exclusively for experienced riders. Members pride themselves on diversity, but their common denominators are their skills and commitment.

Being on the same wavelength is part of what makes the band so cohesive. Sisters Eternal is an active participant in the Abate and US Defender regional programs. They also attend regional and national motorcycle advocacy and information sharing events.

Dahlias are open to members of all levels

While Hop On Gurls aims to train new riders and Sisters Eternal is for experts only, The Dahlias is a sorority that welcomes all levels. The Michigan Club formed from the realization that there was no group in the area for female bikers to join.

The only requirement to join the club is that you must be at least 18 years old and have a motorcycle license. However, the website adds that even those without a license can join the group's social activities.

Many of their events are for charity

While some of The Dahlias' events are just for fun, like their Belle Isle beach day or their trip to Old Miami, many of them are for a good reason. In 2020, they hosted a Ride For Change event that raised money for the Detroit Justice Center.

Before that, they held the Spring Spin event, during which they raised money for charity for the homeless and at-risk girls. Whether it's a festival, a bonfire, or a charity event, The Dahlias certainly know how to make the most of their biker club.
